To Our Shareholders:

We would like to share with you our report for the six months ended October 31, 2019. The total returns for the Cohen & Steers Low Duration Preferred and Income Fund, Inc. (the Fund) and its comparative benchmarks were:

	Six Months Ended October 31, 2019
Cohen & Steers Low Duration Preferred and Income Fund:
Class A		4.20	%
Class C		3.84	%
Class I		4.40	%
Class R		4.08	%
Class Z		4.29	%
ICE BofAML 1-3 Year US Corporate Indexa		2.73	%
Blended Benchmark—65% ICE BofAML 8% Constrained Developed Markets Low Duration Capital Securities Custom Index and 35% ICE BofAML 1-5 Year US Corporate Indexa		4.72	%

The performance data quoted represent past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate and shares, if redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Current total returns of the Fund can be obtained by visiting our website at cohenandsteers.com. All share class returns assume the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at NAV. Fund performance figures reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, without which the performance would have been lower. Performance quoted does not reflect the deduction of the maximum 2.00% initial sales charge on Class A shares or the 1.00% maximum contingent deferred sales charge on Class C shares. The 1.00% maximum contingent deferred sales charge on Class C shares applies if redemption occurs on or before the one year anniversary date of their purchase. If such charges were included, returns would have been lower. Index performance does not reflect the deduction of any fees, taxes or expenses. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. Performance figures for periods shorter than one year are not annualized.

^a  The ICE BofAML 1-3 Year US Corporate Index tracks the performance of U.S. dollar-denominated investment-grade corporate debt publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market, with a remaining term to final maturity of less than three years. The ICE BofAML 8% Constrained Developed Markets Low Duration Capital Securities Custom Index tracks the performance of select U.S. dollar-denominated fixed and floating-rate preferred, corporate and contingent capital securities, with a remaining term to final maturity of one year or more, but less than five years. The ICE BofAML 1-5 Year US Corporate Index tracks the performance of U.S. dollar denominated investment-grade corporate debt publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market with a remaining term to final maturity of less than five years. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of 500 large-capitalization stocks that is frequently used as a general measure of U.S. stock market performance.

COHEN & STEERS LOW DURATION PREFERRED AND INCOME FUND, INC.

The Fund makes regular monthly distributions at a level rate (the Policy). Distributions paid by the Fund are subject to recharacterization for tax purposes and are taxable up to the amount of the Fund’s investment company taxable income and net realized gains. As a result of the Policy, the Fund may pay distributions in excess of the Fund’s investment company taxable income and net realized gains. This excess would be a return of capital distributed from the Fund’s assets. Distributions of capital decrease the Fund’s total assets and, therefore, could have the effect of increasing the Fund’s expense ratio. In addition, in order to make these distributions, the Fund may have to sell portfolio securities at a less than opportune time.

Market Review

Low-duration preferred securities and corporate bonds advanced in the six-month period ended October 31, 2019, which was generally positive for financial markets as many central banks stepped up efforts to support the slowing global economy, cutting interest rates and infusing markets with additional liquidity. Geopolitical factors added to the economic uncertainty, including ongoing trade tensions between the U.S., China and Europe, street protests in Hong Kong and intense political volatility in the U.K. ahead of the country’s shifting deadlines to exit the European Union.

In response, global bond yields declined sharply, with the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield falling below 2% to its lowest level since 2016 and many European government bonds trading at negative yields. Declining interest rates were generally supportive for low-duration preferreds, and to a lesser extent for low-duration corporate bonds, as investors sought securities offering attractive risk-adjusted income in a low-rate environment.

Fund Performance

The Fund had a positive total return in the period and outperformed the ICE BofAML 1-3 Year U.S. Corporate Index. This benchmark focuses on investment-grade corporate bonds with maturities of one to three years. The Fund’s primary objective is to provide high current income, and its secondary objective is to provide capital preservation, which we believe is consistent with this benchmark over time.

However, to meet its objectives, the Fund invests in low duration preferred securities as well as shorter-term corporate bonds. We include a secondary benchmark comprised of preferred securities with five years or less to their coupon resets as well as corporate bonds as a reference. While we typically look to deliver an income rate similar to this blended benchmark, we strive to do so with lower volatility, consistent with capital preservation. The volatility of the Fund’s returns was markedly lower than that of the secondary benchmark over the six-month period.

Bank preferreds, which account for the majority of the preferreds market, produced solid gains. Earnings reports for large U.S. banks in the period showed that capital levels remained strong and non-performing loans were still minimal. While European bank earnings have been under some pressure from low/negative interest rates, issuers have likewise remained strong from a credit standpoint based on capital and leverage ratios. Security selection in the banking sector detracted from the Fund’s relative performance. Security selection in the smaller pipeline sector contributed positively to relative performance.

Impact of Derivatives on Fund Performance

The Fund used derivatives in the form of forward foreign currency exchange contracts for managing currency risk on certain Fund positions denominated in foreign currencies. The currency exchange contracts did not have a material impact on the Fund’s total return during the six months ended October 31, 2019.

Sincerely,

WILLIAM F. SCAPELL Portfolio Manager	ELAINE ZAHARIS-NIKAS Portfolio Manager

The performance data quoted represent past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate and shares, if redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance information current to the most recent month end can be obtained by visiting our website at cohenandsteers.com. All share class returns assume the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at NAV. The performance table does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. During the periods presented above, the investment advisor waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses. Without this arrangement, performance would have been lower.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as disclosed in the September 1, 2019 prospectus, were as follows: Class A—1.12% and 0.95%; Class C—1.77% and 1.60%; Class I—0.83% and 0.60%; Class R—1.27% and 1.10%; and Class Z—0.77% and 0.60%. On June 11, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Fund approved an amendment to the Fund’s fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement, effective at the close of business July 31, 2019 and through June 30, 2021, whereby the investment advisor has contractually agreed to waive its fee and/or reimburse expenses so that the Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.95% for Class A shares, 1.60% for Class C shares, 0.60% for Class I shares, 1.10% for Class R shares and 0.60% for Class Z shares. Prior to this amendment, the investment advisor had agreed to contractually agreed to waive its fee and/or reimburse expenses so the Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses) did not exceed 0.90% for Class A shares, 1.55% for Class C shares, 0.55% for Class I shares, 1.05% for Class R shares and 0.55% for Class Z shares. This contractual agreement can be amended at any time by agreement of the Board of Directors of the Fund and the investment advisor and will terminate automatically in the event of termination of the investment advisory agreement between the Fund and the investment advisor.

Expense Example (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; and (2) ongoing costs including investment advisory fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period May 1, 2019—October 31, 2019.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the following table provides information about actual account values and expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Note 1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Cohen & Steers Low Duration Preferred and Income Fund, Inc. (the Fund) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on September 2, 2015 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return through high current income and capital appreciation. The authorized shares of the Fund are divided into six classes designated Class A, C, F, I, R and Z shares. Each of the Fund’s shares has equal dividend, liquidation and voting rights (except for matters relating to distribution and shareholder servicing of such shares). Class F shares are currently not available for purchase.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Fund is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic (ASC) 946—Investment Companies. The accounting policies of the Fund are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Portfolio Valuation: Investments in securities that are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) are valued, except as indicated below, at the last sale price reflected at the close of the NYSE on the business day as of which such value is being determined. If there has been no sale on such day, the securities are valued at the mean of the closing bid and ask prices on such day or, if no ask price is available, at the bid price. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued daily at the prevailing forward exchange rate.

Securities not listed on the NYSE but listed on other domestic or foreign securities exchanges (including NASDAQ) are valued in a similar manner. Securities traded on more than one securities exchange are valued at the last sale price reflected at the close of the exchange representing the principal market for such securities on the business day as of which such value is being determined. If after the close of a foreign market, but prior to the close of business on the day the securities are being valued, market conditions change significantly, certain non-U.S. equity holdings may be fair valued pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Directors.

Readily marketable securities traded in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, including listed securities whose primary market is believed by Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. (the investment advisor) to be OTC, are valued on the basis of prices provided by a third-party pricing service or third-party broker-dealers when such prices are believed by the investment advisor, pursuant to delegation by the Board of Directors, to reflect the fair value of such securities.

Fixed-income securities are valued on the basis of prices provided by a third-party pricing service or third-party broker-dealers when such prices are believed by the investment advisor, pursuant to delegation by the Board of Directors, to reflect the fair value of such securities. The pricing services or broker-dealers use multiple valuation techniques to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the pricing services or broker-dealers may utilize a market-based approach

33

COHEN & STEERS LOW DURATION PREFERRED AND INCOME FUND, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)

through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the pricing services or broker-dealers also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market transactions in comparable securities and the various relationships between securities in determining fair value and/or characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, option-adjusted spreads, credit spreads, estimated default rates, coupon rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, and other unique security features which are then used to calculate the fair values.

Short-term debt securities with a maturity date of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at net asset value (NAV).

The policies and procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors delegate authority to make fair value determinations to the investment advisor, subject to the oversight of the Board of Directors. The investment advisor has established a valuation committee (Valuation Committee) to administer, implement and oversee the fair valuation process according to the policies and procedures approved annually by the Board of Directors. Among other things, these procedures allow the Fund to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers and other market sources to determine fair value.

Securities for which market prices are unavailable, or securities for which the investment advisor determines that the bid and/or ask price or a counterparty valuation does not reflect market value, will be valued at fair value, as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee, pursuant to procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors. Circumstances in which market prices may be unavailable include, but are not limited to, when trading in a security is suspended, the exchange on which the security is traded is subject to an unscheduled close or disruption or material events occur after the close of the exchange on which the security is principally traded. In these circumstances, the Fund determines fair value in a manner that fairly reflects the market value of the security on the valuation date based on consideration of any information or factors it deems appropriate. These may include, but are not limited to, recent transactions in comparable securities, information relating to the specific security and developments in the markets.

The Fund’s use of fair value pricing may cause the NAV of Fund shares to differ from the NAV that would be calculated using market quotations. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may be materially different than the value that could be realized upon the sale of that security.

Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would expect to receive upon the sale of an investment or expect to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. The hierarchy of inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Fund’s investments is summarized below.

• Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

• Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk, etc.)

34

COHEN & STEERS LOW DURATION PREFERRED AND INCOME FUND, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)

• Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments may or may not be an indication of the risk associated with those investments. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2019 in valuing the Fund’s investments carried at value:

	Total			Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Investments (Level 1)		Other Significant Observable Inputs (Level 2)			Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

COHEN & STEERS LOW DURATION PREFERRED AND INCOME FUND, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)

The following is a reconciliation of investments for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:

	Preferred Securities—Capital Securities—Food
Balance as of April 30, 2019	$	1,503,180
Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)		4,320
Balance as of October 31, 2019	$	1,507,500

The change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) attributable to securities owned on October 31, 2019 which were valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) amounted to $4,320.

Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expense Allocations: Security transactions are recorded on trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified cost. Interest income, which includes the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends on foreign securities, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed after the ex-dividend date. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class) and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

Options: The Fund may purchase and write exchange-listed and over-the-counter put or call options on securities, stock indices and other financial instruments for hedging purposes, to enhance portfolio returns and/or reduce overall volatility.

When the Fund writes (sells) an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option written. When an option expires, the Fund realizes a gain on the option to the extent of the premium received. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to or offset against the proceeds or amount paid on the transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. If a put option on a security is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the security purchased by the Fund. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds of the security sold to determine the realized gain or loss. The Fund, as writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying investment. Other risks include the possibility of an illiquid options market or the inability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts.

Put and call options purchased are accounted for in the same manner as portfolio securities. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying investment transaction to determine the realized gain or loss when the underlying transaction is executed. The risk associated with purchasing an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Additionally, the Fund bears the risk of loss of the premium and change in market value should the counterparty not perform under the contract.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)

At October 31, 2019, the Fund did not have any option contracts outstanding.

Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon prevailing exchange rates on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, including gains and losses on forward foreign currency exchange contracts currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, on the date of valuation, resulting from changes in exchange rates. Pursuant to U.S. federal income tax regulations, certain foreign currency gains/losses included in realized and unrealized gains/losses are included in or are a reduction of ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: The Fund enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge the currency exposure associated with certain of its non-U.S. dollar denominated securities. A forward foreign currency exchange contract is a commitment between two parties to purchase or sell foreign currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of a forward foreign currency exchange contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These contracts are marked to market daily and the change in value is recorded by the Fund as unrealized appreciation and/or depreciation on forward foreign currency exchange contracts. Realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed are included in net realized gain or loss on forward foreign currency exchange contracts. For federal income tax purposes, the Fund has made an election to treat gains and losses from forward foreign currency exchange contracts as capital gains and losses.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign exchange rate underlying the contract. Risks may also arise upon entering these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. In connection with these contracts, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective contracts.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders: Dividends from net investment income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid monthly. Net realized capital gains, unless offset by any available capital loss carryforward, are typically distributed to shareholders at least annually. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are automatically reinvested in full and fractional shares of the Fund based on the

37

COHEN & STEERS LOW DURATION PREFERRED AND INCOME FUND, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)

net asset value per share at the close of business on the payable date, unless the shareholder has elected to have them paid in cash. Dividends from net investment income are subject to recharacterization for tax purposes.

Income Taxes: It is the policy of the Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company (RIC), if such qualification is in the best interest of the shareholders, by complying with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to RICs, and by distributing substantially all of its taxable earnings to its shareholders. Also, in order to avoid the payment of any federal excise taxes, the Fund will distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized gains on a calendar year basis. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary. Dividend and interest income from holdings in non-U.S. securities is recorded net of non-U.S. taxes paid. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal and applicable state income tax returns as well as its tax positions in non-U.S. jurisdictions in which it trades for all open tax years and has concluded that as of October 31, 2019, no additional provisions for income tax are required in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund’s tax positions for the tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, state departments of revenue and by foreign tax authorities.

Note 2. Investment Advisory Fees, Administration Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Investment Advisory Fees: Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. serves as the Fund’s investment advisor pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the investment advisory agreement). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the investment advisor provides the Fund with day-to-day investment decisions and generally manages the Fund’s investments in accordance with the stated policies of the Fund, subject to the supervision of the Board of Directors.

For the services provided to the Fund, the investment advisor receives a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.65% of the average daily net assets of the Fund.

On June 11, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Fund approved an amendment to the Fund’s fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement, effective at the close of business July 31, 2019 and through June 30, 2021, whereby the investment advisor has contractually agreed to waive its fee and/or reimburse expenses so that the Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.95% for Class A shares, 1.60% for Class C shares, 0.60% for Class I shares, 1.10% for Class R shares and 0.60% for Class Z shares. Prior to this amendment, the investment advisor had agreed to contractually agreed to waive its fee and/or reimburse expenses so the Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses) did not exceed 0.90% for Class A shares, 1.55% for Class C shares, 0.55% for Class I shares, 1.05% for Class R shares and 0.55% for Class Z shares. This contractual agreement can be amended at any time by agreement of the Board of Directors of the Fund and the investment advisor and will terminate automatically in the event of termination of the investment advisory agreement between the Fund and the investment advisor. For the six months ended October 31, 2019, fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed totaled $1,797,684.

38

COHEN & STEERS LOW DURATION PREFERRED AND INCOME FUND, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)

Administration Fees: The Fund has entered into an administration agreement with the investment advisor under which the investment advisor performs certain administrative functions for the Fund and receives a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.05% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. For the six months ended October 31, 2019, the Fund incurred $384,646 in fees under this administration agreement. Additionally, the Fund pays State Street Bank and Trust Company as co-administrator under a fund accounting and administration agreement.

Distribution and Service Fees: Shares of the Fund are distributed by Cohen & Steers Securities, LLC (the distributor), an affiliated entity of the investment advisor. The Fund has adopted a distribution and service plan (the plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, which allows the Fund to pay distribution fees for the sale and distribution of its shares. The plan provides that the Fund will pay the distributor a monthly distribution fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of up to 0.25%, 0.75% and 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C and Class R shares, respectively. In addition, also under the plan, the Fund may pay the distributor a monthly service fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of up to 0.10% and 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class C shares, respectively. The amounts paid pursuant to the plan for Class A, Class C and Class R shares may also be used to pay for services to Fund shareholders or services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts.

Shareholder Servicing Fees: For shareholder services, the Fund pays the distributor or its affiliates a fee, accrued daily, at an annual rate of up to 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class I shares. The distributor is responsible for paying qualified financial institutions for shareholder services.

Sales Charges and Contingent Deferred Sales Charges: There is a maximum initial sales charge of 2.00% for Class A shares. There is a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1.00% on purchases of $500,000 or more of Class A shares, which applies if redemption occurs within one year from purchase. There is a CDSC of 1.00% on Class C shares, which applies if redemption occurs within one year from purchase. For the six months ended October 31, 2019, the Fund has been advised that the distributor received $8,425, which represents a portion of the sales commissions paid by shareholders from the sale of Class A shares, and $5,804 and $2,391 of CDSC relating to redemptions of Class A and Class C shares. The distributor has advised the Fund that proceeds from the CDSC on these classes are used by the distributor to defray its expenses related to providing distribution-related services to the Fund in connection with the sale of these classes, including payments to dealers and other financial intermediaries for selling these classes. The payment of a CDSC may result in the Distributor receiving amounts greater or less than the upfront commission paid by the Distributor to the financial intermediary.

Directors’ and Officers’ Fees: Certain directors and officers of the Fund are also directors, officers and/or employees of the investment advisor. The Fund does not pay compensation to directors and officers affiliated with the investment advisor except for the Chief Compliance Officer, who received compensation from the investment advisor, which was reimbursed by the Fund, in the amount of $7,203 for the six months ended October 31, 2019.

Note 7. Other Risks

Preferred Securities Risk: Preferred securities are subject to credit risk, which is the risk that a security will decline in price, or the issuer of the security will fail to make dividend, interest or principal payments when due, because the issuer experiences a decline in its financial status. Preferred securities are also subject to interest rate risk and may decline in value because of changes in market interest rates. The Fund may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates than would normally be the case in an environment of low interest rates and the effect of potential government fiscal policy initiatives and resulting market reaction to those initiatives. In addition, an issuer may be permitted to defer or omit distributions. Preferred securities are also generally subordinated to bonds and other debt instruments in a company’s capital structure. During periods of declining interest rates, an issuer may be able to exercise an option to redeem (call) its issue at par earlier than scheduled, and the Fund may be forced to reinvest in lower yielding securities. Certain preferred securities may be substantially less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks. Generally, preferred security holders have no voting rights with respect to the issuing company unless certain events occur. Certain preferred securities may give the issuers special redemption rights allowing the securities to be redeemed prior to a specified date if certain events occur, such as changes to tax or securities laws.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)

Risks associated with preferred securities differ from risks inherent with other investments. In particular, in the event of bankruptcy, a company’s preferred securities are senior to common stock but subordinated to all other types of corporate debt. Corporate bonds sit higher in the capital structure than preferred securities, and therefore in the event of bankruptcy, will be senior to the preferred securities.

Duration Risk: Duration is a mathematical calculation of the average life of a fixed-income or preferred security that serves as a measure of the security’s price risk to changes in interest rates (or yields). Securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate (or yield) changes than securities with shorter durations. Duration differs from maturity in that it considers potential changes to interest rates, and a security’s coupon payments, yield, price and par value and call features, in addition to the amount of time until the security matures. Various techniques may be used to shorten or lengthen the Fund’s duration. The duration of a security will be expected to change over time with changes in market factors and time to maturity.

Credit and Below-Investment-Grade Securities Risk: Preferred securities may be rated below investment grade or may be unrated. Below-investment-grade securities, or equivalent unrated securities, which are commonly known as “high-yield bonds” or “junk bonds,” generally involve greater volatility of price and risk of loss of income and principal, and may be more susceptible to real or perceived adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than higher grade securities. It is reasonable to expect that any adverse economic conditions could disrupt the market for lower-rated securities, have an adverse impact on the value of those securities and adversely affect the ability of the issuers of those securities to repay principal and interest on those securities.

Concentration Risk: Because the Fund invests at least 25% of its net assets in the financials sector, it will be more susceptible to adverse economic or regulatory occurrences affecting this sector, such as changes in interest rates, loan concentration and competition. In addition, the Fund will also be subject to the risks of investing in the individual industries and securities that comprise the financials sector, including the bank, diversified financials, real estate (including REITs) and insurance industries. To the extent that the Fund focuses its investments in other sectors or industries, such as (but not limited to) energy, industrials, utilities, pipelines, health care and telecommunications, the Fund will be subject to the risks associated with these particular sectors and industries. These sectors and industries may be adversely affected by, among others, changes in government regulation, world events and economic conditions.

Liquidity Risk: Liquidity risk is the risk that particular investments of the Fund may become difficult to sell or purchase. The market for certain investments may become less liquid or illiquid due to adverse changes in the conditions of a particular issuer or due to adverse market or economic conditions. In addition, dealer inventories of certain securities, which provide an indication of the ability of dealers to engage in “market making,” are at, or near, historic lows in relation to market size, which has the potential to increase price volatility in the fixed income markets in which the Fund invests. Federal banking regulations may also cause certain dealers to reduce their inventories of certain securities, which may further decrease the Fund’s ability to buy or sell such securities. As a result of this decreased liquidity, the Fund may have to accept a lower price to sell a security, sell other securities to raise cash, or give up an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on performance.

43

COHEN & STEERS LOW DURATION PREFERRED AND INCOME FUND, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)

Further, transactions in less liquid or illiquid securities may entail transaction costs that are higher than those for transactions in liquid securities.

Foreign (Non-U.S.) Securities Risk: The Fund directly purchases securities of foreign issuers. Risks of investing in foreign securities include currency risks, future political and economic developments and possible imposition of foreign withholding taxes on income or proceeds payable on the securities. In addition, there may be less publicly available information about a foreign issuer than about a domestic issuer, and foreign issuers may not be subject to the same accounting, auditing and financial recordkeeping standards and requirements as domestic issuers. Moreover, securities of many foreign issuers and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. issuers.

Contingent Capital Securities Risk: Contingent capital securities (sometimes referred to as “CoCos”) are debt or preferred securities with loss absorption characteristics built into the terms of the security, for example, a mandatory conversion into common stock of the issuer under certain circumstances, such as the issuer’s capital ratio falling below a certain level. Since the common stock of the issuer may not pay a dividend, investors in these instruments could experience a reduced income rate, potentially to zero, and conversion would deepen the subordination of the investor, hence worsening the investor’s standing in a bankruptcy. Some CoCos provide for a reduction in the value or principal amount of the security under such circumstances. In addition, most CoCos are considered to be high yield or “junk” securities and are therefore subject to the risks of investing in below investment-grade securities.

Geopolitical Risk: Occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years, such as war, terrorist attacks, natural or environmental disasters, country instability, infectious disease epidemics, market instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers and other governmental trade or market control programs, the potential exit of a country from its respective union and related geopolitical events, may result in market volatility and may have long-lasting impacts on both the U.S. and global financial markets. Additionally, those events, as well as other changes in foreign and domestic political and economic conditions, could adversely affect individual issuers or related groups of issuers, securities markets, interest rates, secondary trading, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment and other factors affecting the value of the Fund’s investments.

On March 29, 2017, the United Kingdom (UK) formally notified the European Council of its intention to leave the EU and commenced the formal process of withdrawing from the EU (referred to as Brexit). Brexit has resulted in volatility in European and global markets and could have negative long-term impacts on financial markets in the UK and throughout Europe. There is considerable uncertainty about the potential consequences and precise timeframe for Brexit, how it will be conducted, how negotiations of trade agreements will proceed, and how the financial markets will react. As this process unfolds, markets may be further disrupted. Given the size and importance of the UK’s economy, uncertainty about its legal, political and economic relationship with the remaining member states of the EU may continue to be a source of instability.

Growing tensions, including trade disputes, between the United States and other nations, or among foreign powers, and possible diplomatic, trade or other sanctions could adversely impact the global

44

COHEN & STEERS LOW DURATION PREFERRED AND INCOME FUND, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)

economy, financial markets and the Fund. The strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies may, among other things, adversely affect the Fund’s investments denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies. It is difficult to predict when similar events affecting the U.S. or global financial markets may occur, the effects that such events may have, and the duration of those effects.

Regulatory Risk: The U.S. government has proposed and adopted multiple regulations that could have a long-lasting impact on the Fund and on the mutual fund industry in general. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) final rules and amendments that modernize reporting and disclosure and require the implementation of a Liquidity Risk Management Program, along with other potential upcoming regulations, could, among other things, restrict the Fund’s ability to engage in transactions, impact flows into the Fund and/or increase overall expenses of the Fund. In addition, the SEC, Congress, various exchanges and regulatory and self-regulatory authorities, both domestic and foreign, have undertaken reviews of the use of derivatives by registered investment companies, which could affect the nature and extent of instruments used by the Fund. While the full extent of all of these regulations is still unclear, these regulations and actions may adversely affect both the Fund and the instruments in which the Fund invests as well as its ability to execute its investment strategy. Similarly, regulatory developments in other countries may have an unpredictable and adverse impact on the Fund.

LIBOR Risk: Many financial instruments may be tied to the London Interbank Offered Rate, or “LIBOR,” to determine payment obligations, financing terms, hedging strategies, or investment value. LIBOR is the offered rate for short-term Eurodollar deposits between major international banks. On July 27, 2017, the head of the UK Financial Conduct Authority announced a desire to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. Regulators and industry working groups have suggested alternative reference rates, but global consensus is lacking and the process for amending existing contracts or instruments to transition away from LIBOR remains unclear. There also remains uncertainty and risk regarding the willingness and ability of issuers to include enhanced provisions in new and existing contracts or instruments. As such, the transition away from LIBOR may lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets that are tied to LIBOR, reduced values of LIBOR-related investments, and reduced effectiveness of hedging strategies, adversely affecting the Fund’s performance or NAV. In addition, the alternative reference rate may be an ineffective substitute resulting in prolonged adverse market conditions for the Fund.

This is not a complete list of the risks of investing in the Fund. For additional information concerning the risks of investing in the Fund, please consult the Fund’s prospectus.

Note 8. Other

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on claims that may be made against the Fund in the future and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Note 9. New Accounting Guidance

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement”. The amendments to ASU 2018-13 are intended to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements through modifications to disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Fund has adopted the amended disclosures permissible under the update. The adoption had no effect on the Fund’s net assets or results of operations.

Note 10. Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated events and transactions occurring after October 31, 2019 through the date that the financial statements were issued, and has determined that no additional disclosure in the financial statements is required.

OTHER INFORMATION

A description of the policies and procedures that the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling 800-330-7348, (ii) on our website at cohenandsteers.com or (iii) on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. In addition, the Fund’s proxy voting record for the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available by August 31 of each year (i) without charge, upon request, by calling 800-330-7348 or (ii) on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

Disclosures of the Fund’s complete holdings are required to be made monthly on Form N-PORT, with every third month made available to the public by the SEC 60 days after the end of the Fund’s fiscal quarter. Previously, the Fund filed its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q, which has now been rescinded. Both the Fund’s Form N-Q and Form N-PORT are available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling 800-330-7348 or (ii) on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

Please note that distributions paid by the Fund to shareholders are subject to recharacterization for tax purpose and are taxable up to the amount of the Fund’s investment company taxable income and net realized gains. Distributions in excess of the Fund’s investment company taxable income and net realized gains are a return of capital distributed from the Fund’s assets. To the extent this occurs, the Fund’s shareholders of record will be notified of the estimated amount of capital returned to shareholders for each such distribution and this information will also be available at cohenandsteers.com. The final tax treatment of all distribution is reported to shareholders on their 1099-DIV forms, which are mailed after the close of each calendar year. Distributions of capital decrease the Fund’s total assets and, therefore, could have the effect of increasing the Fund’s expense ratio. In addition, in order to make these distributions, the Fund may have to sell portfolio securities at a less than opportune time.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

The Board of Directors of the Fund, including a majority of the directors who are not parties to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement (the Advisory Agreement), or interested persons of any such party (the Independent Directors), has the responsibility under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve the Fund’s Advisory Agreement for its initial two year term and its continuation annually thereafter at a meeting of the Board of Directors called for the purpose of voting on the approval or continuation. The Advisory Agreement was discussed at a meeting of the Independent Directors held on June 4, 2019 and at meetings of the full Board of Directors held in person on March 19, 2019 and June 11, 2019. At the meeting of the full Board of Directors on June 11, 2019, the Advisory Agreement was discussed and was unanimously continued for a term ending June 30, 2020 by the Fund’s Board of Directors, including the Independent Directors. The Independent Directors were represented by independent counsel who assisted them in their deliberations during the meetings and executive sessions.

In considering whether to continue the Advisory Agreement, the Board of Directors reviewed materials provided by an independent data provider, which included, among other things, fee, expense and performance information compared to peer funds (the Peer Funds) and performance comparisons to a larger category universe; summary information prepared by the Fund’s investment advisor (the Investment Advisor); and a memorandum from Fund counsel outlining the legal duties of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors also considered a supplemental peer group compiled by the Investment Advisor when evaluating the Fund’s performance and fees and expenses; the Investment Advisor believes the supplemental peer group is more representative of the Fund’s investment strategy because most Peer Funds are not short duration funds, and the Fund has a very different investment objective than most Peer Funds. The Board of Directors also spoke directly with representatives of the independent data provider and met with investment advisory personnel. In addition, the Board of Directors considered information provided from time to time by the Investment Advisor throughout the year at meetings of the Board of Directors, including presentations by portfolio managers relating to the investment performance of the Fund and the investment strategies used in pursuing the Fund’s objective. In particular, the Board of Directors considered the following:

(i) The nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by the Investment Advisor: The Board of Directors reviewed the services that the Investment Advisor provides to the Fund, including, but not limited to, making the day-to-day investment decisions for the Fund, placing orders for the investment and reinvestment of the Fund’s assets, furnishing information to the Board of Directors of the Fund regarding the Fund’s portfolio, providing individuals to serve as Fund officers, and generally managing the Fund’s investments in accordance with the stated policies of the Fund. The Board of Directors also discussed with officers and portfolio managers of the Fund the types of transactions that were being executed on behalf of the Fund. Additionally, the Board of Directors took into account the services provided by the Investment Advisor to its other funds and accounts, including those that have investment objectives and strategies similar to those of the Fund. The Board of Directors also considered the education, background and experience of the Investment Advisor’s personnel, particularly noting the potential benefit that the portfolio managers’ work experience and favorable reputation can have on the Fund. The Board of Directors further noted the Investment Advisor’s ability to attract qualified and experienced personnel. The Board of Directors also considered the administrative services provided by the Investment Advisor, including compliance and accounting services. After consideration of the above

48

COHEN & STEERS LOW DURATION PREFERRED AND INCOME FUND, INC.

factors, among others, the Board of Directors concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Advisor are satisfactory and appropriate.

(ii) Investment performance of the Fund and the Investment Advisor: The Board of Directors noted that the Fund has been in existence since November 30, 2015 and considered the investment performance of the Fund versus Peer Funds and compared to a relevant broad-based benchmark and a relevant blended benchmark. The Board of Directors noted that the Fund outperformed the Peer Funds’ median for the one-year period ended March 31, 2019, ranking in the second quintile. The Board of Directors noted that the Fund underperformed the Peer Funds’ median for the three-year period ended March 31, 2019, ranking in the fourth quintile. The Board of Directors also noted that the Fund underperformed for the one-year period ended March 31, 2019 and outperformed its broad-based benchmark for the three-year period. The Board of Directors noted that the Fund underperformed its blended benchmark for the one and three-year periods ended March 31, 2019. The Board of Directors also considered the Fund’s performance compared to a supplemental peer group compiled by the Investment Advisor, and noted that the Fund represented the supplemental peer group median for the one-year period ended March 31, 2019, ranking seventh out of thirteen peers. The Board of Directors noted that the Fund outperformed the supplemental peer group median for the three-year period ended March 31, 2019, ranking fourth out of thirteen peers. The Board of Directors also noted that the Fund is relatively new and does not have a lengthy performance history. The Board of Directors engaged in discussions with the Investment Advisor regarding the contributors to and detractors from the Fund’s performance during the period. The Board of Directors also considered supplemental information provided by the Investment Advisor, including a narrative summary of various factors affecting performance and the Investment Advisor’s performance in managing other funds and products investing in preferred securities. The Board of Directors determined that Fund performance, in light of all the considerations noted above, supported the continuation of the Advisory Agreement.

(iii) Cost of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Investment Advisor from the relationship with the Fund: The Board of Directors considered the contractual and actual management fee paid by the Fund as well as the Fund’s total expense ratio. As part of its analysis, the Board of Directors gave consideration to the fee and expense analyses provided by the independent data provider. The Board of Directors noted that the Fund’s actual management fee and total expense ratio were lower than the Peer Funds’ medians, each ranking in the first quintile. The Board of Directors also considered the Fund’s fees and expenses versus the supplemental peer group compiled by the Investment Advisor, and noted that the Fund’s actual management fee was lower than the supplemental peer group’s median, ranking sixth out of thirteen peers, while the Fund’s total expense ratio was higher than the supplemental peer group’s median, ranking eighth out of thirteen peers. The Board of Directors considered that the Investment Advisor continues to waive a portion of its fees and/or reimburse expenses to limit the overall operating expenses of the Fund. The Board of Directors also considered the Investment Advisor’s recommendation to adjust its existing fee waiver and expense reimbursement agreement with the Fund, effective July 31, 2019 through June 30, 2021. The Board of Directors considered the reasons for the proposal and noted that even with the fee waiver adjustment, the Fund’s actual management fee and net expense ratios would are expected to remain competitive with the Peer Funds’ medians. Upon discussion with the Investment Advisor, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the fee waiver and reimbursement agreement. In light of the considerations above, the Board of Directors concluded that the Fund’s current expense structure was satisfactory.

49

COHEN & STEERS LOW DURATION PREFERRED AND INCOME FUND, INC.

The Board of Directors also reviewed information regarding the profitability to the Investment Advisor of its relationship with the Fund. The Board of Directors considered the level of the Investment Advisor’s profits and whether the profits were reasonable for the Investment Advisor. The Board of Directors noted that the Investment Advisor is currently waiving its fee and/or reimbursing expenses of the Fund. The Board of Directors took into consideration other benefits to be derived by the Investment Advisor in connection with the Advisory Agreement, noting particularly the research and related services, within the meaning of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that the Investment Advisor receives by allocating the Fund’s brokerage transactions. The Board of Directors further considered that the Investment Advisor continues to reinvest profits back in the business, including upgrading and/or implementing new trading, compliance and accounting systems, and by adding investment personnel to the portfolio management teams. The Board of Directors also considered the administrative services provided by the Investment Advisor and the associated administration fee paid to the Investment Advisor for such services under the Administration Agreement. The Board of Directors determined that the services received under the Administration Agreement are beneficial to the Fund. The Board of Directors concluded that the profits realized by the Investment Advisor from its relationship with the Fund were reasonable and consistent with the Investment Advisor’s fiduciary duties.

(iv) The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels would reflect such economies of scale: The Board of Directors considered the Fund’s asset size and determined that there were not at this time significant economies of scale that were not being shared with shareholders. In considering economies of scale, the Board of Directors also noted, as discussed above in (iii), that the Investment Advisor continues to reinvest profits back in the business.

(v) Comparison of services to be rendered and fees to be paid to those under other investment advisory contracts, such as contracts of the same and other investment advisors or other clients: As discussed above in (iii), the Board of Directors compared the fees paid under the Advisory Agreement to those under other investment advisory contracts of other investment advisors managing Peer Funds. The Board of Directors also compared the services rendered and fees paid under the Advisory Agreement to those under the Investment Advisor’s other fund advisory agreements and advisory contracts with institutional and other clients with similar investment mandates, noting that the Investment Advisor provides more services to the Fund than it does for institutional or subadvised accounts. The Board of Directors also considered the entrepreneurial risk and financial exposure assumed by the Investment Advisor in developing and managing the Fund that the Investment Advisor does not have with institutional and other clients and other differences in the management of registered investment companies and institutional accounts. The Board of Directors determined that on a comparative basis the fees under the Advisory Agreement were reasonable in relation to the services provided.

No single factor was cited as determinative to the decision of the Board of Directors, and each Director may have assigned different weights to the various factors. Rather, after weighing all of the considerations and conclusions discussed above, the Board of Directors, including the Independent Directors, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement.
